Quality of life in children and adolescents with cancer.
Quality of life for children and adolescents who have cancer is a personal, subjective experience that is influenced by the individual's internal, immediate, and institutional environments. Quality of life is most accurately assessed on an individual basis with each child or adolescent serving as his/her own standard.
